The British World War 2 A39 Tortoise Assault Tank

The British World War 2 A39 Tortoise Assault Tank was a monster vehicle who’s development during World War 2 was a result of a junior Minster who had seen the effect the more high powered Tiger I tank had over Allied Tanks in the North African Campaign.

The vehicle never entered service with the British Army, but 6 prototypes were built but not delivered to the Army until around 1946.
